Annaliza stared at her booth at the flea market for what seemed like the hundredth time. Someone had cancelled at the last minute and their booth had opened up, so Annaliza had quickly snapped it up ( with permission of course ), and set up her wares. Most of it was small stuff like origami figures, but she also had beautifully painted jewelry boxes and art prints. Stretching her arms above her head after she straightened a pile of art prints that she had accidentally bumped when fixing the arrangement of origami cranes, she let her icy blue eyes wander around at the other people who were still setting up their booth's. 

She spotted a really adorable soft blue teddy bear that she [i]really[/i] wanted a few booth's away, but it looked handmade so it was most likely expensive. Looking between her stuff and the teddy bear, she figured that she could try to barter or trade later on; but first she had to ask for them to put it on hold for her. Scooting out from behind the booth with her sketchbook in hand, she waved until she caught the attention of the woman behind the table. 

' [i]Would you mind putting that blue bear aside for me until the end of the day?[/i] '

The woman blinked her brown eyes a few times and squinted at the paper before nodding and sticking the bear onto a wooden chair located at the table behind her. Annaliza smiled and scribbled ' [i]Thank you![/i] ' on her sketchbook before hurrying back to her own table. The flea market was going to open soon, and it was a Saturday, so they would most likely be incredibly busy.

Elnarin adjusted the bow strapped to his back before resting his chin on his palm and staring out at the horizon that was still a little pink from the rising sun. It was rapidly approaching 7:30am and there were a few other people in the park with him. Staring at his cloth covered wrist, he slid the fabric off in order to glance at the name inked there. He still couldn't pronounce it no matter how many times his parents had tried to help him out, so he had just given up. The date on his wrist however, that date was today, and the apprehension within him was building. 

" Mommy, why is that man not wearing a shirt? " 

Elnarin looked down when he heard voices and spotted a little boy pointing up at him and talking to a woman that he assumed was his mother. 

" Come on sweetie, let's go. " 

They were obviously human by the looks of them, and even if he couldn't understand what they were saying, he knew that the mother was apprehensive of him and didn't want her child around him. Giving himself a once over, he wondered if leaving his bow and arrows back at his house would have been better. Humans after all weren't used to a half naked 6'3 elf with a bow hanging out in a tree ( and if they were, then Eldarin would most likely question what other things were ' normal ' for them ). Sighing softly, he slipped the glove back into place and hopped down from the tree so that he could head over to the area of the park that was more densely populated with trees so people wouldn't stare at him as much.
